Sorry, my last posted was directed to a reply to DarkStar and not you, Shannon ^^

However, this is directed to you

I don't understand how the Sweep combo is the must have.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think that the Sweep combo is good for situational battles as I use it for migitation. I can recall some occasions where it has saved my butt! lol

The only negative aspect I see of it is that it has a high endurance cost.

To run the BF > Attack Vitals chain, you need the following:

Blinding Feint to recharge in 5.28 seconds
Ablating Strike to recharge in 5.544 seconds
Vengeful Slice to recharge in 4.092 seconds
Sweeping Strike to recharge in 5.28 seconds

You'll need to alter your powers slightly to run this attack chain, which shoudn't be too difficult. However, you could possibly consider a different attack chain; because you have a tightly-slotted build and that some of your powers have more than enough recharge while others don't.

For your actual slotting...

Slot an Achilles' Heel: Chance for resistance debuff in Ablating Strike. It will increase your DPS greatly (when it hits)

Six slotting the attacks that will be used in your attack chains is always recommended.

Replace the HO's in your attacks with a CI: Dmg/End/Rchg or a Mako: Acc/Dmg/End/Rchg IO. Also add another slot in your powers for a damage proc.

Add another slot on QR and Stamina to add a PF: Chance for +End.

Take Conserve Power from the Body Mastery set and two slot it with common recharge reduction IO's. I have a DB/WP buddy who has slightly higher end recovery than this build (approximately 0.20-25% more) and she has to use CP every once in a while for EB's and AV's.

You could possibly consider slotting two slot common defence IO's in IW. It will help a lot against AV's that deal PSI attacks (eg: Malaise and Mother Mayhem); most of their attacks are classed as non-positional and will factor against your PSI defence.

Taking the Sweep combo has limited the potential you can reach with soloing AV's. So, if you do have enough inf, using the dual builds feature could be a useful idea. One build for ordinary pve and the other for AV soloing.

Or just screw the pve build and stick with the AV soloing build

You can't resist every Knockout Blow. Eg: my WP/ Tank has Indomitable Will, I've had over 100 duels with him and have only ever been KB'ed once.

Your acting as if you are able to resist every Knockout Blow that comes your way!

Was the SS/Elec Brute only able to KB you once? Or can he do it repeatedly? If it was just the once, then I'd take into account what I've written above.

Well, i saw that its possible to solo with a RAD/SONIC Defender everything (GMs, EBs, AVs).


[/ QUOTE ]

Yup! Even Lusca!

[ QUOTE ]
Is this also possible with a sonic/rad corruptor?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. However, it will still require an expensive build.

[ QUOTE ]
What powers do you need, what can you skip? Any suggestions or experiences?

[/ QUOTE ]

You're probably best off with posting a build that you think will be good with AV soloing. Then it'll be easier for us to correct any changes that are needed.

I've only ever received compliments for the name "Jeff Vader". It's also common to receive references from the "Jeff Vader joke" by Eddy Izzard. Which, of-course, is where I thought of the name

A 6th position is being introduced. In view of this, the current amounts of inf earned for each position will need to be modified, slightly; I want to keep most of the amounts a bit more balanced.

The new prizes will be:
First: 100 mill
Second: 75 mill
Third: 50 mill
Fourth: 25 mill
Fifth: 15 mill
Sixth: 10 mill

Additional rules:
.No toggles
.Stick with just one costume
.No Ouroboros portals

They're the only major rules that come to mind, at the moment. When the costume contest starts, I will state the rules and give a description of reaching the final six and that etc.

Before anybody asks, no it's not a themed contest. Just bring your favourite or/your best costume!

What difference did it make?

After holding a costume contest (again) in Atlas today, a large amount of people showed up. I also received many popular comments, which have resulted in me holding another; there were many friendly and polie requests for another costume contest.

Next Sunday, at 6:00 PM BST, my costume contest will be held in Pocket D! Yep, that's right, Pocket D! The reason towards this is that I want villains to also join in the fun!

Info:
Date: 5th July - Sunday
Time: 6 PM - BST
Zone: Pocket D
Prizes: First = 100 million influence, second = 75 million influence, third = 50 million, fourth = 25 million and fifth = 10 million influence.

I will be logged on my Scrapper - Jeff Vader
I will be at PD from 5 PM
Just come to PD from 5 PM - 5:55 PM
From there I will show you where to line up

Let me know if I've missed any vital information out. I typed this fast

We failed on this attempt on the Nexus tree mission. One of the Defenders had gone too close to the center, which resulted to him being attacked by the AV.

However, contrasting to the errors that occured at the beginning, we peformed well and that none of us were ever in danger.

If anyone is still interested in a MoSTF, contact @JeffJeffityJeff (me) or @Philtrum

We plan to be running more attempts soon.

I have a similar idea to your "ARROW QUIVER" suggestion.

It would be nice for people using the Broadsword, Katana/Ninja Blade and Dual Blade sets to be able to equip the sword on their back rather than having it disappear suddenly lol. Maybe you could attach it onto a belt?

That's definately imaginative.....

You logged onto Union once by mistake, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

If that was the case, I'm sure his post would be "you would need a VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY colossal sick bag for it "?

Or should I add some exaggeration to it? Seeing as it has none

It's the veteran badge that you earn for playing for 60 months/5 years.

I mainly posted this since I've never needed to use the email feature.

As you mentioned, it'd be a whole lot easier to keep things organised. That's a very useful aspect that the email feature provides which I didn't take into account with my previous post

Does anybody actually use the emailing feature (in-game)? I just send an offline message, tbh.

I predict that using the in-game email you can include more text, but even then I'd just send more than one offline message to include it all.

I'm using the term "offline message" a lot since the email system is designed for sending a player an offline message.

Even then, that only sends it to the player rather than than their global; which is a major advantage to sending a offline message rather than a email.

I realize that you have a good point towards these "hard to get" badges. However, they are classed as "achievement" badges for a reason

They woudn't be as much of a achievement as they're now if your suggestion goes live.

Welcome to the forums!

Anyway, there is a lot of un-necessary slotting. From observing your build I've noticed that you mainly go for the set bonuses rather than actually buffing up the power, also that you take power only for the purpose of slotting it for more bonuses. E.g: six slotting Fast Healing, Health, Resilience and Integration whilst having only two slots on Reconstruction.

From having a 819% regeneration rate, you've clearly gone for a high regeneration build. You've slotted nearly all of your attacks with Pounding Slugfests, only took the Fitness pool for Health and skipped Stamina. Relying purely on your regeneration rate is not good. It'll backfire in many,many and many situations!

Defence and recharge usually works more efficiently with /Regen; recharge will bring your clickies up quicker and more defence will provide less of a need to actually use the clickies.

I've tweaked your build slightly and removed most of the un-necessary slotting. I still aimed to go for moderately high regen (724%), but traded most of it for defence, recharge and to have your powers be more effective.

I'd still recommend you take some of my advice and observe the build carefully to start a new fresh build that is slightly better. Post any new builds you have here and I'll assist you with them.

If you have any questions that are related to the changes I made then don't hesitate to ask. Allowing me to awnser some of your questions will also allow you to provide more efficient builds.

Character: Costume-wise it would have to be Dr Quatrexin. For the same reason as Stryke.

Badge: The City Traveler badge. In-game, I haven't actually seen anyone with this badge. Playing for five years is a impressive achievement.

Powerset: Radiation Emission

Arc: I can't class one arc as my favourite, but the Faultline and RWZ arcs are fun. I also enjoy the 'Hero's Hero' arc.

Memory: Not sure.

You could attempt to send a ticket? If they can't fix your problem, they will probably let you know on what you could do next.

However, I had a quick observation at the help section on the official PlayNC website. I had a look at the "My account stopped renewing" and it mentions this:

"Recurring billing will automatically stop if your credit card has expired. It may also stop if your financial institution declined the attempted charge.

If your card has expired, you simply need to reactivate your account with your updated billing information. Please see the article below for help with doing so.

How do I activate/reactivate my game account?

If your card has not expired, you will need to contact your financial institution for help. The details of denials are not available to the NCsoft Support Team."

I would suggest to also send a ticket, but here it says you need to contact your financial institution. I guess if you try both of these and have no luck, you're gonna need to pay for your accounts with another method of payment.

IO muling is more common than you would actually think

Agreed

Hi all. I'm starting another MoSTF run on 27/06/09. A preferable time would be 4-10 PM BST. I'll try to set a specific time closer to the date.

So far it's just me and three others (including Philtrum). Four spaces left! Sign up fast! lol

Sign up if you're interested.

The Inventor badge, four of the five crafting badges (one isn't required) and all of the memorization badges (besides 45-50 ones) are all required for the Field Crafter badge.

I just thought I'd let ya know since this is all regarding with the memorization badges. Also, acquiring the Field Crafter badge will give you the Portable Workbench accolade power. And being able to craft recipes at any time and anywhere is extremely useful; it saves you a large amount of time when contrasting it with your usual visit to a Uni.

Heyman has already mentioned the basics, so I'm gonna go more specifically into memorization.

If by the term "learning" you're referring to memorizing recipes, then here is a basic view of it from P-Wiki.

"If you complete enough of the right selection of common invention recipes, you will memorize them, and related others. Memorizing a recipe unlocks a set of choices under the Memorized tab. Using a recipe under the memorized tab does not consume a recipe object, so you are not required to have a copy of the recipe in your inventory. "

It can occasionally take a long duration of time to get them, but I've memorized all of the recipes on three toons, so far!

[ QUOTE ]
You learn a recipie (only basic IO's) by crafting it so many times, not sure on the amount of times, but its on the net somewhere

[/ QUOTE ]

The amount of times required to memorize the recipe is different. It's usually 10 times of crafting it, but that's only "usually"

Eg: the Energy Conservationist badge requires you to craft 9 lvl 10 endurance reductions and endurance mods recipes, while the Charismatic badge requires you to craft 8 level 35 and 8 level 40 mez ehancements (sleep, snare, hold, stun, immbolize and fear) and one additional lvl 35 or 40 recipe to craft.

It's extremely recommended to use paragon wiki to assist you when you're aiming to acquire memorization badges.
